I live in a house that is over 100 years old. That's pretty old by US standards, but can you imagine living in a city that is 12,000 years old? That would be Damascus, Syria, with a population of four million people. Web Urbanist has a list of the ten oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. Link

Kind of surprise to see one from North America and none from China on the list, the former because it would be difficult for us to determine whether it was continuously occupied, the latter, because I thought there were older cities than Athens there.
